It will allow me to get user data from nodebb? I am a little rusty on Oauth2 but if I am a provider don't I already need to have user data or does the oauth plugin make nodebb the provider?

New Auth system integrating with existing Nodebb forum -
New Auth system integrating with existing Nodebb forumHi I am working on a site that has an existing nodebb forum and we are looking to add features to the site that require a user to have an account.

I have been searching the forums for an answer but it seems most cases are either starting a new app and nodebb forum or have an existing auth system and addidng nodebb
